Thanks Rusty! Well....I just downloaded the patch, maybe I did it wrong, but as soon as it downloaded and I clicked on it to extract the files, it did that and "reinstalled" the game..which took about 30 minutes..no change in the stuttering! Now I am wondering if the patch was applied to the game, or if I need to do that still??? anyone know?? MaG? Wahhhh.. Glynn

You don't definitely need to install it. I think it was supposed to solve the problem of the cursor becoming unresponsive (which many gamers have had, but not everyone). Maybe it was for something else too. I was waiting for the patch before playing Aura in order to avoid the cursor problem.

Well... I still can't play the game. I got 1 step ahead of where it kept crashing the LAST time.. and it still keeps crashing straight to the desktop.

Not that I'm a whiner.. but I sort of resent paying someone 20 bucks for something I can't play, and they won't support. I don't think it's fair to rely on message forum regulars to do their tech support for them. This sux.

I was really looking forward to playing the game. No reason it shouldn't play on any of my systems either.

I'll keep an eye out here.. if anyone has ANY ideas which might help... I'm open to hear them. I've already gleaned alot of info from the boards, but nothing so far has helped. Thanks.

SillyEagle, How did the patch install into your game? Did it re-install the entire game? mine did, I had to insert each of the 3 disks, that's why I'm not sure I did it right. Anyway...I wrote a note to Sergey and asked what the patch was supposed to be for, and also mentioned that it didn't help with the game crashing or the stuttering/stalling problem I had...will post when/if I hear anything!

Glynn... yes. I had the same experience. The msp file is just an executable.. so I executed it. LOL And it reinstalled the entire thing.. also calling for the entire set of discs. Soooo... I guess we just hurry up and wait. I'll watch for a response.. thanks for writing to him. I'm too aggravated and I probably wouldn't be very nice about it.

Sorry everyone, I assumed it was a patch to correct the problems. It obviously isn't! Where is the support for this game? I'm getting tired of TAC releasing games and then offering no support. They don't even have this "patch" available. Only place to find it is on 3DGamers. Well, what do they care? They already have your money.
